Modification Monday: Lady Sophisticate

Original Pattern: Baby Sophisticate

Knitter Extraordinaire: Ingrid (Ravelry ID, blog)

Mods: Upsized the original baby sweater pattern, and added waist shaping. Details can be found on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: It’s a big deal, to start with a baby sweater and upsize on such a dramatic scale. And while I adore this baby sweater (it’s definitely one of the best baby sweater gifts/patterns out there) It looks timeless and elegant, all grown up in this version. Keeping the style of the original pattern intact, Ingrid also added waist shaping, which helps the adult version be even more flattering. Hard to believe such a classic cardigan started from a wee baby sweater!
